I'm so hard

Chapter 297
"From now on, Dazhou will be exempted from land tax, and this tax will never be levied!"

After this sentence is engraved on the Songde Stone, it means that it is impossible to change it, even Zhao Yan's descendants cannot change it.

These words were quickly passed on to Xiao Jingye in the form of an order.

In Xiao's study.

When Xiao Jingye read the content of the decree, he couldn't help frowning.

Although he was prepared in his heart, he was still a little worried.

Xiao Jingye's heart is like a bright mirror. Since Zhao Yan came to the throne, he has gradually changed the rule of "the king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together" from emphasizing agriculture and business to streamlining the army and simplifying administration.

Today, the status of common people and businessmen is steadily improving, while the status of officials is no longer so important.

Although the imperial court raised the salaries of officials, it is an obvious fact that the status of officials has declined.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Da Zhou and future generations, no one knows.

Xiao Jingye wandered back and forth in the study room, finally heaved a long sigh, and his face suddenly relaxed.

"Hey, this old man is getting old. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, any major event he has done is enough to go down in history. I just need to carry it out!"

Immediately, Xiao Jingye rushed to Zhongshu Province and notified Zhongshu Province to issue this decree to all states, prefectures, and counties.

In less than a day, the entire Changdan City was boiling.

The common people went out to celebrate each other and held a big banquet.

In the past, at least [-]% of the food grown by the common people was handed over to the government. If there was a famine, poor families could only sell their sons and daughters to pay land taxes.

But now, the food grown by myself is completely eaten by myself.

As long as there is no catastrophe or famine, no people will starve to death in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This move is unprecedented, and even unprecedented.

A group of scholars who got the news from the imperial court also started talking about it.

"Gentlemen, do you know what exemption from land tax really means?"

"Naturally, His Majesty is sympathetic to the people of our Great Zhou, and hopes that everyone can live comfortably!"

"No, no, that's just one of the reasons. My former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also known for his benevolence. Why didn't he exempt the land tax?"

"because……"

"Because, now our Great Zhou court is stronger than ever, and the income from business tax, salt, iron, tea, wine and other taxes is enough to support the court!"

Hearing these words, all the scholars were suddenly stunned, and showed a proud expression.

Today's Dazhou has surpassed any previous era.

Three days later, when the people of the Great Zhou learned about this decree, everyone was overjoyed!

The degree of joy is no less than getting married and having children, and being named on the gold list.

Many people even prayed for Zhao Yan in the direction of Changdan City to express their love and respect for him.

While the people of Da Zhou were reveling, the news naturally spread abroad.

People in Vientiane and Xilimu in the south, Goryeo and Northern Mongolia in the north, and some tribes in small countries were envious when they heard the news.

Hate yourself for not being a Dazhou person.

Even some common people are ready to immigrate quietly.

People in other countries have almost formed a consensus: Only in Dazhou can they live a happy life.

The people thought so, and the officials also came up with some ideas. For example, some officials in Vientiane already hoped that their country could submit to Da Zhou.

After all, Da Zhou is too powerful, and it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed. It is better to surrender earlier and live a happy life.

And when Goryeo and Beimeng heard the news, they all looked sad, from the rulers and ministers to the common people.

Because they have enmity with Da Zhou, it is impossible for Da Zhou to want them.

……

In Northern Mongolia, in a huge tent.

Ergu, who was full of beards and looked like he was drinking too much, sat in the center.

The chief pharmacist of Korea is sitting on the side.

The pharmacist said to Ergu: "Commander Ergu, we can't cheat like this. If the little emperor recovers, our two countries will definitely be wiped out!"

Ergu picked up a large glass of wine, drank it down, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Say something quickly, I'm not a fool in command, do you need you to analyze the situation here?"

The pharmacist rolled his eyes, and leaned forward.

"Right now, the strength of our two countries is insufficient. Even if we work together, we can't defeat Da Zhou. If we don't want to become Da Zhou's prisoner, there is only one way."

"What way?" Ergu poked his head and asked.

The pharmacist lowered his voice and said: "You and our two countries, send all the elite to assassinate Zhao Yan!"

"As soon as Zhao Yan died, Da Zhou lost his backbone, and Zhao Yan's son, who is still young and has a blood relationship with Northern Mongolia, is not worthy of mention. While assassinating Zhao Yan, we also want to assassinate important civil and military officials of Da Zhou. Officials, as long as they are all killed, the great Zhou will be leaderless and will be in chaos, and it may fall apart due to internal strife, and this is the only chance for our two countries to rise again."

The pharmacist was originally a killer, so his idea was to assassinate him.

Assassination is the most brutal method, but sometimes it is very useful.

Ergu licked his lips.

"Changtan Imperial City is heavily guarded, it's not so easy to assassinate, the little emperor has too many people around him!" Ergu looked puzzled, he actually didn't want to do such a dirty thing, but now he was forced to this place For his sake, this kind of next move is also under his consideration.

A sly smile appeared on the pharmacist's face,

"Three years ago, I set up a layout in Changdan. The downtown area of ​​Changdan City, the palace, and the mansions of the ministers all have my Korean spies hidden. There are nearly 300 of them. As long as Zhao Yan leaves the palace, we will have the opportunity Kill them, and as for the other ministers, after the death of the little emperor, they will be killed one by one, so as not to scare the snake away!"

"That's okay, this plan is feasible. I, Beimeng, are willing to send out a thousand elite dead soldiers to assassinate!" Ergu raised his voice and said.

A smile appeared on the face of the pharmacist, and said: "Commander Ergu, I will personally lead the team for this assassination. But if this matter is leaked, I don't want Da Zhou to put all the hatred on me, Gao Li, So I hope you can sign a contract with me, Goryeo."

After finishing speaking, the pharmacist took out a piece of parchment hidden in his waist.

Ergu opened it and saw that the parchment stated that the assassination plan was jointly planned by Ergu and the pharmacist, and that after the assassination was successful, Northern Mongolia would not be allowed to attack Korea within 50 years.

Ergu smiled faintly, then bit his finger, and pressed his handprint on the parchment.

What Pharmacist is worried about is that if it fails, the two countries must bear the blame. If it succeeds, Northern Mongolia will not be able to attack Goryeo after it regains its strength.

To put it bluntly, this is the worry of a small country.

Since Ergu agreed to assassinate Zhao Yan, he is not afraid of Zhao Yan's revenge after he finds out.

At present, Ergu's idea is: if you don't succeed, you will succeed!
